Nory,

        I can post the dates they are in each city but they are taking
mostly side roads and staying off the thruways and Interstates. The whole
route book Nigel has prepared is about 100 sheets in a 4 ring binder
so it would be difficult to post this to the various lists. They are all
travelling at their own speeds and free to take any diversions along the
planned route but meet up each night at the designated hotel where it
would be best to meet them and view the great cars.

Sept. 24th - Wandlyn Inn, Woodstock, New Brunswick
Sept. 25th - Auberge de la Pointe, Riviere du Loup, Quebec
Sept. 26th/27th (2 nights) - Quality Inn, Quebec City, Quebec
Sept. 28th - Quality Hotel Suites, Brossard, Montreal, Quebec.
Sept. 29th - Holiday Inn, Bloor St., East Oshawa, Ontario
Sept. 30th/Oct. 1st (2 nights) - Best Western Inn on the River, Niagara
Falls, NY
Oct. 2nd - Comfort Inn Suites, Vernon, NY
Oct. 3rd - Best Western, Amsterdam, NY
Oct. 4th - Comfort Inn, Union Deposit Road, Harridburg, PA
Oct. 5th The Yorktowne Hotel, York, PA
Oct. 6th - Holiday Inn Select, Lynchburg, VA
Oct. 7th - Holiday Inn State Capital, Raleigh, NC
Oct. 8th - Comfort Inn, Wilmington, NC
Oct. 9th - Ramada Inn Airport Coliseum, North Charleston, SC
Oct. 10th - Days Inn/Suites, Bay Street, Savannah, GA
Oct. 11th - Comfort Inn Historic Area, St. Augustine, Florida
Oct. 12th - Econo Lodge, Cocoa, Florida
Oct. 13th/14th (2 nights) - Clarion Plaza, Orlando, Florida
Oct. 15th/16th (2 nights) - Comfort Suites - Dix Ellis Trail, Jacksonville,
Florida
Depart Jacksonville for Chicago and Heathrow Oct. 17th.

        Unfortunately, there has already been a major breakdown of the
1954 XK120 and it has been trucked back to Halifax for repairs by an extremely
competant repair shop and will be shipped to Antwerp upon completion. The
Belgian owners have rented a vehicle to complete the run. A very disappointing
experience for them but they are still in high spirits.

        I you would like more information on this tour, please e-mail me.

Regards,
>Bob
